Junebug is getting too big!

Junebug loving on Papa

She says "Pa" when she sees him.. he is so good with her

I love cake!

Stole my brother hat... Cowgirl June

After Bath time, Daddy wrapping me up.

My baby is growing up way too fast. She is almost 10 months and I feel like she will be 16 before I know it. She is starting to talk....or try. ( Wyatt seems to understand her the rest of us rely on him to let us know what she is saying. )Right now she is standing by herself just trying to get the courage to take the first step, she is into everything and nothing slows her down, and she eats like a champ as long as you do not feed her (she feeds herself.) She is the most determined child I have and just loves to be loved. I have my cuddle bug finally! Wyatt wants nothing to do with me when it comes to cuddling or sitting in my lap, but God knew I loved to cuddle so I think that is why he sent us our June. She is such a blessing and Wyatt gets better everyday with her. He tells everyone that June is "His baby" and do not touch! (He is very demanding these days to say the least.)

To change the subject ...This has been a week of ups and downs. My dear friend who found out her Grandmother has brain cancer and has a few weeks to live at this point. It has happened so fast, you really never know when your time is up here. She was fine on Halloween playing with her grand kids and within a week, her health went down hill. Another friend is my CBS group has found out her husband has stomach cancer and they are awaiting the results and what stage it is in. It is so hard to see her in pain, not knowing is sometimes the hardest part. It seems your mind always wants to play tricks on you to think the worst so please pray for strength for both families. While visiting your family this week over Thanksgiving, enjoy the time together and do not take it for granted.

On a happier note, our miracle baby Sam turned a year this year! Sam was not suppose to be able to happen and he is here and absolutely beautiful. Laura and Holt will soon be expecting their little girl after the first of the year and Locker is such a sweetheart so we are grateful for miracles!

Where is Wyatt?

All week long we have been on the go, then Friday comes around and we are stuck inside with nasty winds and a cold front moving in. It is a nice change of pace..but by 10:00 the kids are climbing the walls and so am I! I guess Wyatt got so bored he decided to make up his own game. The game is "Where is Wyatt" Which he has figured out he can fit in the built in laundry baskets in our bathroom, any cabinet or small niche around the house. He gets in there and yells,

"Where's Wyatt?" This morning he found a new spot. Look closely at the entertain center.

Open House

This past week we had open house at Wyatt's school (Children's Day Out - 2 days a week) . It always amazes me that he cooperates with all the other kids, bc at home is a different story. He has the best teachers and I really love the program. June will start next year, I was selfish and not ready to let her go quite yet!

Happy Veterans Day!

I copied this picture from my friends Molly's blog and when I saw it it just touched me. Her sweet little boy Mac gets so excited to watch the flag go up on base every morning. She and her husband Mike gave up everything to serve our country. They are now stationed in Hawaii and I know it hard to be away from her Texas family. I have so much respect for them I cannot imagine at the age of 30 starting over, but he did and it truly is for our freedom. Thank you Mike and Molly, Dad, Papa, Uncle Danny, Cousin Jared, Brad, Kristen and Goldie, and all the veterans who have served and our serving our country. We appreciate you so much.

Happy Birthday Meema!

Meema and Wyatt

Meema and June bug- I always said June looks just like Mom.

Halloween

Meema and Wyatt at Sea World, our first little vacation! Wyatt had a blast and Mom was up for anything...obviously!

Happy Birthday to an incredible lady whom I am so proud to call Mom. She is truly a selfless person who loves unconditionally...and always has. Mom, you are the best Mee-ma and we love you and ALL that you have done for our family. I hope you have a wonderful birthday and look forward to many more adventures together! You look just as beautiful now as you ever have. Love you!

Seriously...

I am not sure what is going on this week, but I feel like I am being bossed around by a 2 1/2 year old! What is the deal? I have found myself saying, " You will not talk to me like that." And realizing I am saying this to my own kid?! What has happened in our household! Zach and I will be sitting down on the couch and Wyatt will walk by and say, " Mommy, no- you move." Where did my sweet little boy go? and who and I raising?! We have tried time out... does not seem to work, spanking (not CPS style) does not work, and trying to explain it is disrespectful seems to go in one ear out the other. So, I am hoping Mrs Goldie will have a few more ideas for us! I refuse to answer or let a 2 year old talk to us like a drill Sargent. Any ideas!?

Chucky Cheese

Wyatt's own version of skee ball

I love tickets...

Who says I am a baby?!

Fishing with Cal

Skee ball with Clara and Cal

Wednesdays have become a very popular day in the Doss household. The minute I picked Wyatt up from class he runs up to me and says, " Can we got to chucky cheese now?!" He never forgets. We have such a good time and Wyatt enjoys playing with Cal, Clara, and Tye. June and William do not like to be left out either... one day they will take off on us too. Here are some cute pictures from today. Wyatt has not grasped the "game" thing.. he obviously did not know how to play skeeball either! I love the fact he can play for over an hour on maybe 10 tokens?!
